Release roadmap

The following milestones are expected to be completed for the upcoming major releases.

You can also have a look at more details list of new features with each release.

Schedule:

  • Bring to the world Nemerle 1.0 Release.
  • Continue development towards Nemerle 2.0

Nemerle 2

1. Move Nemerle from System.Reflection.Emit to CCI Metadata.
2. New generation of syntax macros using PEG.
3. Remove internal modules dependencies. Introduce interfaces and following components:

  • Core. AST and imported types from external assemblies.
  • Parser. With new macros generation, this allows almost any syntax.
  • Typer. Type inference, overload resolution and so on.
  • Post-compilation. What is called now Type2, Type3, Type4 and optimiziation.
  • Code generation.
4. Support other run-times (requires 1).
5. Implement a new parser using new macros generation. The new parser is going to support almost any language extensions and better support for complicated DSLs.
6. [Arguable] Optimize type inference. Possibly in the next version.
